Black Myth: Wukong | Review Thread
- Thread starter John Elden Ring

It added more 3 sub 70 scores to Meta... the score is still cached.
Windows Central (lol)

The Sixth Axis
Score without cache seems to be 83 but Metacritic cache is the most weird thing I ever saw.
Edit - The non-cached score is 82 right now.
Edit - More two sub 70 scores added.

My summary on what I read until now...
+ The atmosphere is good.
+ Graphics are amazing.
+ Combat is good.
? Some said bosses are forgiving and easy... others said it is hard and good.
? Some reviews says boss rush is the best to enjoy the game.
- Technical issues (blame PC here)
- Bad story.
- Lacking exploration.
- Invisible walls across the board.

IMO choosing PC as reviewer copy is just set up to disappointment.
I wonder who decided to not put PS5 version to be reviewed... it should had avoid a lot of technical issues complain.
Even big AAA publisher doesn't send PC review codes... only PS5.
Consoles are the state the game is suppose to release and PC needs several patches after launch to reach that point.

The main Spanish gaming media reviews:
3D Juegos (PC): "Recommended" as score and these are the "5 things you have to know" they highlight:
So expect Eurogamer score it as "recommended" (or not giving them the "recommended" label, which doesn't imply it's a bad game for them), but not "essential".
Anait usually gives PS exclusives one or two points (out of ten) less than the MC average, and the opposite in Nintendo exclusives. So expect Anait (whose as I remember their reviews aren't submitted to MC/OC) to give it somewhat between 6.5 and 7.5.
3D Juegos (PC): "Recommended" as score and these are the "5 things you have to know" they highlight:
- 58 bosses including elite ones
- One of the most visually striking Unreal Engine 5 games
- Has souls-like elements, but it isn't really a souls-like
- Story based in the Journey to the West novel
- You can download a benchmark on Steam
- 30-35 hours length
- "Visual prodigy, Chinese mithology and really fun Boss Rush"
- "stands out for its fantastic tech side, but it is also a very solid and fun ARPG that will take us on a fantastic journey defeating boss after boss in a highly satisfying race
- Many good options to evolve our character. Combat is fast-paced and dodging is very satisfying
- Several localization to Spanish issues that will hopefully be fixed in time for launch
- On a narrative level, sometimes there are things that are not told very well
- Falls a bit short of the legend of the Monkey King due to a few bugs and design decisions, but it manages to offer an action-adventure especially designed for souls and action fans
- The best: spectacular visuals, combat flow fluidity and special powers
- The worst: poorly optimized, missed potential on the story side, simplistic level design
- Great visuals, gameplay and cutscenes
- Great enemy and (even if some feel unbalanced) bosses variety
- Great story
- Localization to Spanish issues
- Slow loading transitions
- Over 40h length

WTF is gameplay becomes repetitive, ffs we use the same light heavy attack combos in all arpg's nowadays
Not woke enough
Knocking down scores for a fantasy game because of inclusion and diversity reasons
Screenrant = shitty Sweet Baby Inch / Hit Detection/ BlackRock woke agent minion confirmed
Gaming media can't be taken seriously.
I have seen mentions of "technical shortcomings" impacting the game score. And that is perfectly fine. But... You damn well know that depending on the studio behind the game, negative aspects are waived in a game review.
From Software puts out MEDIOCRE games from a technical standpoint and it's never called out. Same for Rockstar and their 2004 style mission design.

FROM (while i do love them) is the critical darling of the industry right now, and gets a pass on many things. I'm just tired to them always being compared to.
